It seems selling has stalled... The market is dead. There should be
a lot of upside from here. Browsing the latest headlines, no bullish headers:

As Russia abandons reforms
Clinton headed to uncertain summit
Communists won't sign political deal
Russian crisis hits another low
Russians replay "bad old days"
Ruble plunges 15%

We'll see...
P.S. I'm sure happy with my shorts today and last week.

Objectively, what are the odds of nationalization ??

It depends on the industry. For oil companies, the odds are extremely high.

If you insist on gambling on Russian "securities", I suggest getting rid of LUKOY, TNT, ROS, closed-end funds, et.al. and using proceeds to buy VIP. VIP is not an old-style Soviet enterprise that the vodka breath has deeded to the Russian mafia, hence it is less likely to be nationalized.
